Look into using Intel Pro NIC's and adaptor teaming.  Whether you are
using 1GB or 100MB NIC's this should be helpful in releaving future
network bottlenecks to the server.  I run on my server Intel Pro 1000's
with ALB teaming if at all possible.  It will take a little messing
around the first time to figure out the process but isn't too bad after
that.  As far as I know the amount of NIC's you can team is endless
(limited of course only by PCI slots and common sense).
